Appeals of the Commission for Utilization's decisions in the Council of Labor and Defense were rare: probably less than 1%.

Gosplan wants liquidation of the Commission for Utilization (which the interested People's Commissariats also support, hoping for lack of control), not its transfer as a whole to Gosplan. If it were transferred as a whole to Gosplan, the only remaining objection would be § 2 plus: it would be necessary to transfer part of the People's Commissariat of Finance (distribution of money notes, etc.) to Gosplan.

(The apparatus of the Commission for Utilization currently numbers around 500 people. The approved staffing level is 800 people. Upon transfer to the People's Commissariat of Finance, this will not change.) (The staffing has been drawn up in such a way that its reduction is impossible.)

(The Finance Commission, on the whole, gave a positive conclusion, i.e., in favor of this plan.)
